Swanage Lifeboat Station is located on Peveril Point, a headland on the east-facing coast of the Isle of Purbeck and is part of the town of Swanage in Dorset, England.
A lifeboat was first stationed at Swanage by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) on 16 September 1875.
The station underwent extensive re-development in 2015/16 with a new purpose built boat house to accommodate its new Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat (AWB), and was opened in 2017.
The station currently operates 13-13 George Thomas Lacy (ON 1320), a Shannon-class All-weather lifeboat, on station since 2016, and Roy Norgrove (D-884), a D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat (ILB), on station since 2023.
